Please settle an argument

[KellynchHall]

DH and I are arguing about the downstairs loo. It is a small room 2m by 1.2m. It is currently stripped back ready for plastering and then tiling. Obviously the room has a loo and will shortly have a vanity unit and sink too.

I have bought the following tiles which I love.

DH likes them too. But he says we can't have the same tiles on the walls as on the floor whereas I say we can. The plan is to tile the floor and then half way up the walls.

Please could you tell me who is right?

I think that would be a bit too much. I’d take a colour out of that and do plain on the walls, or do the wooden slats instead.

If they were plainer tiles, yes.
But those are too busy to use on both floor and lower wall

I’m team DH.

DH is right I’m afraid

How about the floor and just a bit behind the sink? I don't know why people tile half a room unless they suffer with frequent explosive diarrhea.

sorry I think those tiles are too busy for both.

I thought the same then just husband reminded me that boys can be a tad adventurous with their direction 🤣

If course you can - it can actually make the room look bigger as you don't have a break between floor and wall colours. It's a more fashionable way to tile so your DH might not 'get' it. See if you can find photos to show what you mean. I did it in my bathroom with a patterned tile and it looks fab.

Ooh no… The tiles will look amazing on the floor OR wall but not both.

I'm with DH given those tiles. Would be fine for plain tiles (though not my taste to tile the whole toilet - we've always just done floor and behind the sink).

I’d definitely do it your way!

I think it will look ace.

I’ve just seen some lovely same tile floor/wall ideas but the ones here aren’t far off what you have chosen (see pic).
It’s not a great look OP.
Too busy.

I love this too but the OP’s is a small room with no big white bag to break it up.

I love them, I think you plan is great.

@Hucklead But that’s not patterned tiles up all walls - that just a tiled … feature wall Even then the bath breaks it up?? Matching a tiled … feature floor.

it will look good, go for it.

Team DH. Too busy for a very small space.

Yes you certainly can use the same tiles on floor as up the wall. I did it in my old very small bathroom, but they were plain tiles.

With these tiles I am in 2 minds. It could look quite quirky and fun on the one hand but it could also be too much.

I think it depends on what your overall style is for other aspects of the house.

I think it’ll be kind of groovy and undergroundy. It’ll make it feel all floor. I’d love to see it when you’ve done it. What colour are you thinking above?

Nice tiles but I'm with your DH. It's too much in a small room for floor and wall

Yikes.
Having those on the wall and floor will be very weird. It would feel like you are walking into the inside of a fancy christmas present.

Too small a room if no break in the pattern. Will look claustrophobic.

Team Dh. Plainer tile yes. Those no, it’s just too small a space. Put them on the floor or a single wall.

Compromise like I did.

The wall and one wall. The one behind the loo would be ideal.
